----- ADS-----
My Hero Academia has been a constant in the shonen fandom for a decade now, but soon enough, the series will end. Creator Kohei Horikoshi has just one chapter left of the manga, and this week saw chapter 429 go live. It was there fans watched Izuku Midoriya have an awaited heart-to-heart with Ochaco, and the encounter has left fans with all the fuzzy feelings.
The conversation was teed up last week as fans saw Ochaco struggle at school, and Deku was the one who tracked the girl down during a leave from school. Ochaco spent the first part of chapter 429 trying to hide her tears from Deku, but the boy wasn’t having it. After knowing Ochaco for so long, Deku knew just what to say to his best friend, and the ensuing confession left both heroes in tears.
“You’ve always been this way even back during the entrance exam… You prioritize others over yourself. During the sports festival, too. Every time since way back. You’ve been saving me every step of the way. You’re my hero,” Deku revealed, reaching out a hand to Ochaco during her time of need.
